Too Long; Didn't Read

WebP is a broadly supported compressed image format that is becoming more common across the web. Storing your images as `webp` can reduce the size of your web pages, while still maintaining the image quality you need. The image size savings can be pretty significant, meaning your pages will load a lot faster. We can use cwebp to convert all of our images to 'webp' using a 'for` loop' command. In HTML, we can use our image file with a fallback to the original `png` file using the `<picture> tag.
